Enrichment Activities

Show all activities

In our Sixth Form, education goes far beyond the classroom. We have over 70 extra-curricular activities with our ‘Wymondham Life’ programme and much more.

Speaker events & lectures

We have a long-standing Speakers Programme which has attracted professionals from all industries including David Dein, former Vice-Chair of the Football Association and member of UEFA and FIFA committees, and Andy Barratt, Chairman and Managing Director at Ford of Britain. We hold two annual lectures. The Peel Lecture has a commitment to the Sciences and in recent years we have welcomed British Biologist Prof. Nessa Carey, who discussed genetics, Prof. Colin Cooper who talked about current cancer research and Dr Adrian Dubock who discussed GM crops. The Lincoln Lecture has a different theme each year. Recent guests include Film Director, David Kunac with the UK’s premier of his award-winning documentary “Drawing Against Oblivion” and Sarah Churchill who discussed the effect of 'The Great Gatsby' on modern America.

Leadership

Student leadership is paramount to our community and a vast number of societies are student-led and span a variety of interests with many proving very successful in national competitions. Our award-winning societies include the Debating Society, Young Enterprise, Maths Society and regional champion sport clubs. There are also societies that are not competitive but have an equal passion for their subject; Drama, Jazz Band, Law, Medicine, Choir, History, Amnesty International, Dance, Combined Cadets Force and Yoyo to name just a few. In addition we have a Junior Common Room (JCR) which is a team of students that drive the development of the Sixth Form and host social and charity events throughout the year, the highlight of which is the annual formal dinner.

Trips

We run several international trips each year, both related to academic studies and some just for fun. We also provide work experience, volunteering opportunities, mentoring programmes, and UCAS experiences.

Sport

The College has a strong reputation for sport with vast numbers of young people involved in activities each week. The PE Department are committed to regular fixtures throughout the year and running a wide variety of clubs across the College day. In addition, sports tours have been organised in recent years such as a Netball tour to Cyprus and a Rugby tour to South Africa.

Drama & Music

Wymondham Life is proud of its strong tradition of drama and music, which culminates in the Mair Cup which is a musical contest that celebrates the talent across the houses at the college. Recent performances of 'Billy Elliot’, ‘Guys and Dolls', 'Annie' and 'Grease' are examples of the lavish productions that both enthral and captivate our audiences. ‘Enjoy and Achieve’ is the central philosophy for the Music Department. In addition to curriculum music lessons, students have access to a huge range of performance opportunities, including ensembles, a Jazz Orchestra and the Concert Band. The work of the department is supported by visiting music staff and achievement in all areas is exceptional. Many students go on to study music at a higher level. Additionally, the College offers specialist music places in Year 7 and Boarding Scholarships for musicians in Year 12.
